Direct Marketing Coursework
It’s becoming increasingly challenging for marketers to compete with a single-channel strategy. To be successful, great marketers must have several tools in their arsenal. Studies continue to show that omnichannel campaigns boost greater return than a single medium. Connecting for Action, Canada Post (2016) study showed that "Integrated direct mail and digital campaigns elicit 39% more attention than campaigns relying on a single medium".
Yet, many colleges and universities no longer include direct mail in their marketing curriculum. Educating students on direct mail’s value and overall ease of digital integration will better prepare them for a career in marketing.
Elevating the Future Generation
Our mission is to help educators prepare marketing students with the direct marketing skills they will need to compete after graduation. Our program is an ongoing evolution leveraging top industry experts and educators. Hear from Bentley University's professor, Ian Cross, and his marketing students about their experience in the course.
